So far, there is no impact in any of the shots which has been posted up. Beside the good post processing, none of them look greatly appealing to me. To me it looks like snap shots rather than carefully planned shots.
Generally speaking
1) Some photos are pretty messy in the BG.
2) Most of her pose are done distastefully. There is no sexy appeal to it.
3) Clothes which I guess she brought herself are just not exciting enough.
4) Expression.....well......no comment on that.
Shooting lingeries is one of the most difficult task in a portrait shooting. It's not about shooting her assets only which will appeal the audience. It's how you bring her inner self to make it look sexy. Right now what I can see is just exibitions of her assets.
What lacks in some photographers is the failure to communicate well with the model. This will usually lead on to things like "Yeah, ok ok this will do", "Yeah, yeah this looks great" "Yeah you look quite sexy in this angle" or then there are shooters who keeps quite all the time.
Shooting human subject is one of the most difficult and challenging things in photography. It's all about control and how you fully interact with them. Not just taking out your big guns and start shooting as if you really know what you are doing.
It's good that some of the members go through to experience but it's good to do some homework before the actual shoot itself. Another problem is plenty of hobbyist (yeah I know you all have full time jobs and only doing this for fun) but if you want to do something (even if none of you are professionals in this field) make sure you do it well. Why waste the money that you spend on the model, the time wasted and your equipments which you carefully invested.
It's not only the professionals photographers can do it well/better but any of you can do it too. You have a DSLR. I have a DSLR. You have a 50mm f1.4. I have a 50mm f1.4. We use the same as you all use. Some hobbyist have higher end equipment than myself. So where's the problem? Lack of experience would be the main answer but then again it's all about how interested you are in this hobby.
There is plenty of room for improvement for many members in here who posted their portraiture shots. I have seen nice decent works by some members who only take it as a hobby. So if they can do it (plus they not professional train), I am sure you all do it too.
I hope to see higher standard works from the members in CS so that to let the other parts of the world know we are able to achieve same or higher standard than the rest.
Choose only the best photos to show us. Good luck to all.
